I was at the university, studying Engineering, Behavioral Psychology, and Geology at the time. I had my 64 GTO Convertible, I had a 65 hardtop GTO and a 1966 Florida Tri-Power Convertible stored at two of my Uncle's Pontiac/Cadillac/Olds/GMC dealerships.

So a 1969 Trans Am comes on the market nearby and I go to look at it. Nice rust free Body and basic Ram Air 400 driveline, minus the engine being blown up. 4 speed car. $1500

So I round up the money and go back the next day, and the car is gone.
So I did not get that 1969 Trans Am but later bought a 1978 "No T-Roof"
Trans Am. Nice handling but a real POS engine and rear axle.

Sold the 1966 GTO Convertible to a Soldier returning from Vietnam.
Sold the 1965 GTO to a friend. Kept the 1964 GTO Convertible Tri-Power Car
as my uncle said it would be worth a lot more money down the road.
Sold the 1978 Trans Am and bought my first truck.

I could have bought a 1966 Shelby Cobra but did not have the 6K at the time.
Sold my Grandfather's 1964 Dodge Max Wedge car when he passed away.
The guy really did a nice job restoring it.

So I have driven or had a chance at buying a few "money cars" over the years but not like Jim Brady who swapped/sold cars like each was another pair of underware.
